I found this little place by accident! I took home several items. They said they make everything. My haul included a slice of German Chocolate Cake. I can make this and found their cake to be too dense. I sampled carrot bread and tasted carrots, but immediately needed a glass of milk!! It was dry. The best thing I ever tasted was the chocolate walnut pie!! Hello!!! It was 5.95 a slice and I was in Heaven; I love, love fudge! This was sooo fudgy my heart was melting with joy!! Reminded me of the fudge I make around the holidays. Other reviews mentioned various foods, I have no idea about those. They are only open for a few hours; it takes time to bake all the goodies they have. I would definitely go back!! In a strip mall, easy to park in front, just limited hours. read more

Not sure what has happened to our wonderful Sugarmill Sweets. There is a decline in food quality, ambiance, and service. They have switched to disposable dinner ware. This happened some time after Covid and never went back to regular service. Last two visits they were short of staff leaving one waitress who worked so hard to make everyone happy but this also left me very uncomfortable. The food has changed and tastes like something is missing. So sad . Hopefully this is temporary. I love this place and the people that own it. read more

Was ignored for about 5 minutes so I asked if we should seat ourselves or wait to be seated. The guy at the register said to grab a vacant seat. We had 4 so we were trying to find two tables close together. The waitress came as asked how many we had and I said 7. She then told me I was supposed to check in with the guy up front. I told her I did and he said to find vacant tables. SHe acted upset that we sat down before the table was wiped. We had a table for 4 and one for 2 so we asked if we could bring chair to one of the tables, she said no as it would block a walkway, though there was no walkway between our table and the two top. About then another 4 top opened so the 3 moved to it. She got huffy with us and said that they could not be put together, we said that was ok. After a while we were brought menus. I ordered the turkey sandwich with no mayo. when it came it had lots of mayo. She told me I did not ask for no mayo, but the others at the table told her I did. When the sandwich came out the second time it did not have mayo but also did not have the cheese it was supposed to. I did not think much about it until my ticket came and noticed it said no cheese, no mayo. Do not know where she got the no cheese from. We were never offered refills on our drinks or if we wanted a dessert etc. She brought our tickets and left. After a bit we figured we had to go to the register to pay. There was no one at the register so we waited for almost 5 minutes before the guy came to the register. I told him that my sandwich was wrong the first time is was brought to the table and was not right the second time but I kept it. He made no comment and rang me up. The food was great but the service not so. No idea if there was something going on to excuse the lack of service. read more

I never knew this place served regular food, until recently. I decided to try the breast of turkey sandwich. I figured it would be one of the best sandwiches I've ever had, considering they're well known for making high quality desserts. Sadly, I was mistaken. The sandwich was extremely sloppy, loaded with bitter iceberg lettuce, overripe tomatoes, and it had too much mayo on it. They were supposed to serve the sandwich on a French roll. They served mine on a croissant. I could've had a better sandwich from Publix. read more

Always fresh and delicious. Save room for dessert! Carrot cake and coconut cake are soooo good.

What a hidden gem! We stumbled upon Sugar Mill last week and while we enjoyed a solid meal of meatloaf and chicken with puff pastry, we were treated to a few songs by an Elvis impersonator (it was the anniversary of his death). It was a fun experience and a delicious meal. We will be back! read more

Yummyyyyy! My family picked up a few cakes from here for our annual family reunion, and boy were they good! Highly recommend the German chocolate cake, but they have a bunch of traditional flavors baked to perfection to choose from. Kind staff. Cute shop. Locally owned. Fair prices. And most important- absolutely delicious!! Stop on by today!! read more

I recently had lunch at Sugar Mill Sweets. It was delightful experience. The food was delicious and well priced. The desserts were so amazing that I snapped a picture so I may order them ahead for my guests!! read more

Very friendly staff (Summer and her mom served our table) who made great recommendations on lunch dishes. We stumbled upon this cute shop during lunch time, and were amazed by the wonderful chicken salad plates. Very fresh and light. As the first timer in the shop, we received free brownies Would love to come back and try their cakes. read more

Sugar Mill Sweets is a locals favorite. They have the best cakes, desserts and treats. Nothing fancy, just your traditional classics made well. The cakes are moist and delicious.

This is a local favorite- if you ask any local where to go for an amazing cake, this is the place they tell you to go! They have a great selection, their cakes are absolutely delicious and they try to be as accommodating as possible. One of these days, I'm going to make it there for lunch. The menu looks absolutely amazing and their dining area is cozy and clean! read more

Surely, this is not a secret! My Wife and I got in just b4 lunch. Wow! It was the 'spot'! The Taco Pie was amazing! The Quiche was absolutely delectable! The soups were so bountiful! Laurie was an outstanding professional who warmly welcomed and served us as if we were old friends! A great atmosphere and very clean and organized from top to bottom! I wish I had words for that Pistachio Bread!!!! OMGosh!!! read more

First time here. A very small and quaint restaurant. Only open for lunch. The tables are pretty tight but man they can pack them in. Menu has a variety of items. Personally I just looked at another table and asked our waitress what they were eating. I ordered the chicken divan and I got a small salad with it. I will be back. Just a side note if you see a table go sit down it's open seating. Also the desserts look awesome. I was to full to eat any. read more

This is a hidden gem of a lunch spot in Fort Walton Beach! They're only open limited hours during the day for lunch, but if they were open every day this is where I would be for lunch! I am addicted to the Avocado Chicken Salad. It is full of flavor on half an avocado, and I am amazed at how well it pairs together! The service is ALWAYS great, and they have the most amazing bakery items and desserts. The Mississippi mud brownie is a MUST HAVE (even to-go!) This is the go-to whether you're a local or visiting the area! read more

Comfort food at its finest. Cakes are so moist. Service is wonderful. It's definitely where the locals eat. Charming place with delicious lunch options. read more

delicious food and the best cake I have ever had. Friendly and Fast service. Just a wonderful little cafe.

Our review is based just on the bakery items. We did not sit down to eat nor order any take out. The dessert items were okay at best. The cakes looked half way to almost empty and we were there right at opening, so that was interesting. One of the cakes did look a day old though. The brownie was very fudgy and the lemon squares were just okay. We wouldn't visit again, nothing special. read more

Love love love this little place! Discreetly tucked away in Wright Plaza is a little bakery/cafe packed full of hospitality and flavor! The older generation probably wants to keep it secret.... but I found it and will be returning as much as I can and as much as my purse will allow! The bakery items are mouth -watering and the lunch menu is amazing. Bonus: the banana nut bread is the best I've ever tasted... and I Love banana nut bread! read more

Great customer service. Delicious pastries. Haven't had a meal there but menu looks amazing, too!!

Hidden gem! Family owned small eatery in a plaza that has good food and amazing sweets. A friend recommended it for lunch and I'm glad that we tried it. We had the taco salad and rocky road brownie. It is small so I would recommend going outside of normal lunch hours because seating and space is limited. Service was great! We will be back! read more

Sugar Mill Sweets - Rocky Road Brownie - Bakeries Near Me - Fort Walton Beach, Florida

THE BEST CAKE EVER. Okay, I am a professional Cake expert. CAKE is my thing, and it is a part of who I am. This place offers two of my absolute favorites. First, the chocolate fudge cake is amazing. This cake is baked with all fresh ingrediants and then the fudge icing is poured over the cake (just like my great grandmother's) perfectly. Second, the coconut cake! I am shocked, but this place has introduced a coconut cake with a moist, rich fluffy cake with amazing coconut. Two of the best cakes I have ever tasted, and they are right here in Fort Walton Beach! A full applaud goes to this place! Thank you!! read more

Always yummy but didn't save room for their EPIC desserts. A great stop on the north side of town - Wright Plaza at the corner of Beal & Racetrack. Nice, attentive staff who know just what you need before you ask. A family favorite! read more

I love this place! My personal faves are the coconut cake and strawberry cake. I took my friends here for the first time and they loved their cakes too... I forgot what they got but they were both super delicious.. I highly recommend this place! Next time I come again I will try their food. read more

Was excited to try this place based on the reviews, however I was very disappointed. Decor was outdated and dusty. Food was disgusting. And the sweets were not even good, the icing on the brownie was gritty. The target market was obviously the older generation, as that was 99% of their patronage that day. You'd be better off going to the gas station. read more

I was in town for my mom's birthday and needed to order a good cheesecake for the following day. Although the Cafe was closed, I was able to contact them through their Facebook site. I couldn't decide on a specific flavor, so they recommended half cherry and half key lime. It was beautiful and delicious! I was very happy to support the local business rather than purchase a generic dessert from Sam's or Publix. I'm already planning to order lunch from Sugar Mill Sweets the next time I'm in town. read more

Based on the name, I thought this place to be merely a bakery. However, they do serve up plenty of "regular" dishes, mostly comfort food. The ambience was that of an early bird special cafe. As a group of mid to late 20 year olds, we were the youngest patrons by generations. The service here is great, as always in the South. The sweet tea refills just keep-a-coming. The food was decent. The options were surprisingly diverse. As I hinted at earlier, there is more than just brownies and cakes. They offer a variety of dishes from sandwiches to Mexican. Kind of odd, really. Prices were a bit high for the South, but at least, the portions met the Southern standards. Unfortunately, 2 of my friends had some "bonus" bowel movements after eating here. As Chris I. joked, there must have been a little something in the food that keeps the regulars coming. (o_O) Ambience (^_^) Service (^_^) Options (^_-) Taste (-_-) Bang for buck Indifferent to coming. If you are a local, then give this place a shot. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to come here unless you are constipated. read more

This place is by far the definition of "southern comfort food" so if you are dieting, by all means avoid this place! ;) I've had the pleasure of eating here twice, once take out and the other dine in. First time, I had chicken salad on croissant with a brownie. By all means tasty but a little rich for chicken salad in my opinion. I accidentally got the cake brownie. It was fine but not my preference of brownie. Next time, I decided to dine in. The sweet tea is divine, with the perfect amount of sweetness to where I'm not feeling like I'm about to go into a diabetic coma. I went out on a limb and ordered the chicken divan and ranch as my salad dressing. Holy Jesus, Moses and Joseph was the Chicken Divan amazing! It was my first time ever having this epitome of a southern dish. A little creamy, cheesy chicken and broccoli with rice. The ranch dressing was great as well. Yes I was probably the youngest in here, but I do not care! FWB is a retirement community and it is lunch on a weekday, so what do you expect? The waitress suggested the chocolate on chocolate cake which according to the man at the register happened by accident and used the Rocky road icing? Please for the love of all things, continue this amazing combo. The icing wasn't too sweet and the cake was perfectly moist. Service was great! Never feeling neglected or without something but not annoyingly smothering you either. I'm sorry I live two minutes away from this place because I will probably gain 20 pounds but thankfully it's only open during hours that I work. Give this place a shot..or three. read more

Sugar Mill Sweets - The best cake ever by far! - Bakeries Near Me - Fort Walton Beach, Florida

We ordered Mississippi Mud cheesecakes and they were phenomenal. Huge thick delicious cheesecakes. They were a hit for our birthday party.

The chicken salad sandwhich is to die for and also the pistachio bread or any of the treats honestly. Been going since I was 10 years old.

Perfect lunch date! The lasagna was insanely delicious and I have never been there without ordering a slice of carrot cake or a whole chocolate macadamia pie! read more

I would not recommend this place. I went there today at 2:00 and the girl was rude. She told me they quit serving at 1:45. Didn't offer me anything at all. This might seem so awful for all of you but I am temporarily handicapped. I have to take off a special driving boot and put on a walking boot! It is very time consuming and at time frustrating! I was looking forward to trying this cafe because it sounded like it had good food! Perhaps, they will consider being kinder in the future! read more

It's worth looking for the address for this place they deliver to a lot of good restaurants the cake and slices is so fresh it's delicious love the coconut white cake and a red velvet cake not so much the German chocolate cake,,They have a small restaurant in there too just off the street where is Sams club is in Fort Walton Beach on the right side after race track Road read more

Have been here several times. It's a little bakery that serves up country cookin lunch. The ladies running around serving you work hard and do it with a smile. Try the special of the day. If you ever need something special in the dessert category, this place wins-hands down! read more

I've only had their bakery items, but I can say every time I've been here to get one of their cakes, they are amazing and greatly priced! I love this place. Chocolate Fudge Cake is out of this world. read more

Cheesee vegetable soup and carrot cake was wonderful. First time here we will be back

Had the creamy chicken over puff pastry. It was boring and had very little taste. The service was decent. The decor is horrid and looks old and dirty. They offer a complementary brownie, which was basic and too sweet. I had heard their desserts were great and was disappointed. Don't believe the hype. I think they're niche market is the elderly population, with diminishing sense of taste. Bland meals with overly sweet sweets. I do not intend to come back. Meh overall. read more
